Concern

Poor cable terminal crimps

Defect, as DVSA words it

The cable terminal crimps in the rear plate terminal block and battery box fuse block may be inadequate. The nut securing the ring cable terminal (terminal block) may also be insufficiently tight.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Check the crimps by pulling the specified cables. Repair where necessary by undoing and re crimping or soldering. Tighten ring cable terminal securing nut where necessary.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
